"The solution has good performance."
"Thanks to all these security processes, our users can access our infrastructure with the certainty that we will not be compromised."
"Our number of users working remotely vastly increased during the COVID 19 pandemic. Check Point Remote Access VPN allowed us to quickly make the transition from in-office to remote work."
"I found the MEP feature the most valuable. This has improved users' latency allowing the users to connect to the nearest Azure Check Point VM."
"The solution offers high scalability as far as adding more users."
"The biggest advantage of Check Point Remote Access VPN is that we already use the Check Point firewall. We only needed to enable the feature and do the configuration in order to enable the VPN feature. We didn't need to buy or manage new hardware. This was a big advantage."
"The IPSec VPN, Mobile Access, and Identity Awareness are three of the blades with which we have been working with since the pandemic. This has given us great mobility, making our network more dynamic."
"It is easy to install the Endpoint Remote Access VPN client on different platforms."
"Among its most valuable features is how it quickly and easily connects everyone to the VPN service."
"It is customer-friendly. It is quite easy for our users to connect. There is also the flexibility of the features."
"The most valuable feature of Pulse Connect Secure is its ease of use."
"I can safely say this is one of the best solutions I have seen for VPN access. It can achieve what other vendors may not be able to. This product will train you about exactly what an SSL should be. You can leverage it to do whatever you wish, the way you wish to do it. This is the solution if you want a perfectly scalable product for your enterprise that can help your mobile users and integrate with the latest technologies."
"The tool's most valuable feature is remote access."
"The most valuable features of Pulse Connect Secure are multi-factor authentications, and VPNs and SSL VPNs we are using."
"It's quite stable."
"From an end-user perspective, the setup phase is easy."
"The most valuable feature is being able to securely connect and use virtual desktops."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"Some configurations, like idle timeout (the requirement came from multiple users), are not possible to configure directly from the Check Point management server."
"When you want to deploy a new Check Point agent, it is really a pain in the butt. For example, Windows 10 now has updates almost every couple of months. It changes the versioning and things under the hood. These are things that I don't understand, because I'm not a Windows person. However, I know that the Check Point client is installed on the Windows machine, and if the Check Point client's not kept up-to-date, then it's functionality breaks. It has to be up-to-date with the Windows versions. Check Point has to update the client more often. Now, the problem is that the Check Point client is not easy to update on remote computers and it's not easy to deploy a new client."
"We'd like to integrate Check Point into the Remote Access VPN solution and have the ability to integrate multiple devices as access points through the solution."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN's enterprise support could be improved."
"The authentication that we handle is through a .p12 certificate, however, we have integrated it with a 2MFA service through another provider. Something that could improve Check Point is if it had its own 2MFA service through a blade or some sort of application."
"Sometimes it causes the consumption of machine resources, and also improves the scanning since they consume many resources in the clients' machines."
"There was complexity in the initial setup."
"In my organization, there aren't Linux users, however, I know it has difficulties offering secure access for customers who use this operating system."
"User experience and after-sales support could be better. For example, over the last couple of years, when this COVID scenario was going on, there were multiple attacks on these types of solutions. SQL has been attacked numerous times, and there were a lot of vulnerabilities, and our customers had to update and upgrade the devices every two weeks or every month. This was a headache. It could also be more scalable."
"The solution can be improved by addressing the failure to connect on public 2-step networks."
"Ivanti Connect Secure needs to have faster connections. It also needs to improve the stability."
"I don't have any downsides to report about the product at this time."
"Setup is complex. A few users had some issues with it."
"The most valuable features of Pulse Connect Secure are the user-friendly connection and interconnecting."
"Zero test FDP (Fraud Protection and Prevention) should be improved."
"This solution normally works but at times, we have had trouble with connectivity."
